I remember you. I saw your plight back then and how you gave up. If we did not have downvotes hitting users instead of offending posts (or comments), Hive would be a vibrant community of people from all walks. It would also be at least twice as big. I know more users that have quit due to the above than I know users.
We do not need guardians of the blockchain or reward pool. The guardians take more from the pool than they protect from being taken. They expect people to somehow learn the dos and don'ts without any mistakes along the way. Then put them on a permanent kill list.
I wish I were able to post stories about that abuse. I remember you doing so and it does not fly unpunished.
Hello, was just reading this post now. Hope you are doing well.
The reason people like @dwinblood come back to Hive is that we have our own group that helps upvote posts that he writes and similar posts. If you were interested in joining a curation trail I run one for the last 4 years called informationwar over on hive.vote.
We upvote politics/news/informationwar/deepdives and a bunch of other tags and communities. We have a post in our Bio over on @informationwar of what we are all about. If you want to delegate to @informationwar or join the informationwar curation trail we are constantly upvoting daily so that. If you followed it or delegated to us we would be using the HP very well, so that we spread the votes out between a lot of people.
Thanks for reading :)
I've been slow at posting lately. I moved to another state. Still getting used to my new life.
Good to see you back!
I actually never got targeted myself. I mainly got sick of seeing it happen to so many other people. I'd have people come after me but usually not anything particularly bad.
I don't like to see it done to other people and I saw it as toxic for a creation that I could see the beauty in.
You can only stare at the rot for so long before you tap out...
I stared at it for quite a few years.
